Hello Adriaan,

I did some fiddling myself and with success!

I am using SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 and went as you suggested to:
	Personal Settings -> KDE Components -> Service Manager
Under Startup Services there is the Network Status Daemon. I clicked on it and 
then stopped de daemon and restarted it. Subsequently, I launched my dialup 
connection and then KMail flawlessly downloaded my mail messages through this 
connection.

What remains is how this can be made to work without the fiddling. Should I 
file a bug report somewhere?

Best regards,

Paul.
